Chapter 21
Desolate, desolate, miserable.

When Liu Yishou appeared in Shengming Temple, the temple was like a patient who had lost his soul, similar to when he first came to "step on the spot".

It's just a better door and a newer lock.

When Dao Jing, who was sweeping the leaves at the door, saw Liu Yishou, his expression can be summed up in a sentence of English from later generations:

how (how) old (old) are (yes) you (you)?
"Buddha, the poor monk has too many distracting thoughts, and he has hallucinations. It's a sin." Dao Jing turned around alone, muttering to himself, as if he didn't see Liu Yishou and the others.

"Okay, there's no need to read Lao Jing. The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha will keep it in his heart. I will go in."

Liu Yishou patted Daojing on the shoulder, and strode towards the Buddhist hall.

"Long time" no see, Master Dao Xi was still as steady as an old dog, seeing Liu Yishou and others, he just nodded slightly and pointed in the direction of the meditation room.

Could it be that the old monk didn't know that the emperor had passed away?
If it is said that Jing doesn't know, Liu Yishou believes it, but Master Daoxi, who is very knowledgeable, doesn't know, then hehe.

The temples in Luoyang these days, especially the royal temples, do not have a single simple thing.When the two came to the wing, He Basheng became restless.

"Military division, we have lost Mrs. Feng and the line of contact with the Yuan family. What should we do next?"

He Basheng's words made Liu Yishou's eyelids twitch. He really wanted to ask the man with good martial arts skills and a strong body: Have we ever had a sister Feng Xiaomeng?We're obviously just dropping him off by the way, okay?

"It's okay, we'll talk about it tonight."

Liu Yishou said in a deep voice.It can be seen that Feng Shuyuan still seems to have some status, and she is not completely dominated by Yuan Yi. After all, the Changle Feng family has a lot of background. This marriage belongs to the politics of King Rencheng's lineage to consolidate their "private land". marriage.

Since it is a political marriage, how can you force your marriage partner?The status of the two parties only depends on the balance of power behind them!

Of course, talking to He Basheng about these things is tantamount to playing the piano against a cow.

Just as Liu Yishou was staring at He Basheng in the meditation room, Master Daoxi walked in and sat beside them.Master Daoxi said straight to the point: "Yuan Shikang, the emperor's messenger, has woken up."

So, bring him to meet.

Liu Yishou and He Basheng looked at each other, wondering what Master Daoxi wanted to do.

"However, when he heard that the emperor had passed away, he fainted from anger and is still lying down."

There was a little helplessness in Master Daoxi's tone.

Alas, I knew this guy was unreliable.Look at the people in Yuanxu, those who are capable, such as Er Zhurong, who are ambitious and want to swallow the country, and those who are incompetent, like Yuan Shikang, who are loyal but faint in the end.

It's useless at all!
Liu Yishou scratched the back of his head and asked, "Then what did he say?"

Master Daoxi took out a piece of mild suet jade from his cuff and said, "The emperor's personal token, Yuan Shikang gave it to me before he fell into a coma."

Liu Yishou heaved a sigh of relief, this guy finally did some personnel work, otherwise he would have been lying flat all the way.

"You leave Luoyang City as soon as possible. Empress Dowager Hu may establish a new monarch. Then hunt down the courtiers who oppose her, and you will not be able to leave Luoyang."

Master Daoxi persuaded him with kind words.

Liu Yishou and He Basheng exchanged glances, and there was not much time left for them. After all, Er Zhurong's army could not stay around Luoyang for a long time for no reason!

Do you think that after Er Zhurong's army retreated, the crisis was over?

On the contrary, with the death of the Son of Heaven, the Empress Dowager Hu was unable to replenish the forces directly under her, and had no way of controlling the situation at all, so the "rebel army" from Hebei would drive straight into Luoyang.

Er Zhurong was confident, and it was not without reason that Empress Dowager Hu was wary.The current Northern Wei Dynasty is not a peaceful and prosperous age. There are uprisings and riots all over the place, and they can even be called turbulent.

"You take care of yourself. When you leave Luoyang, Yuan Shikang will leave with you. The emperor has passed away, and he has no loyal people. It's better to go with you. This is what he meant."

For a person like Yuan Shikang, if Tianzi Yuanxu is still alive, if he can really take power, then his future will be limitless.However, once Yuan Xu died, this kind of person lost his most fundamental backer.No matter who becomes the new emperor, he has his own team, and he will never treat Yuan Shikang as his own.

The current world is so cruel.Sometimes you try your best to fight for a future, but the future is not completely in your control.Not only the example of Yuan Shikang, but also Liu Yishou's jumping left and right, moving and dodging, is just a race against fate.

Master Dao Xi left, and asked someone to bring a fast meal, almost as if Liu Yishou and the others were not in the temple, and forbade anyone (mainly Dao Jing) to talk to Liu Yishou and the others.This is also for Shengming Temple not to participate in the political situation.

After all, the emperor has passed away, and the mission of Shengming Temple is also over.

"I always feel like things are a little bit off."

Seeing Liu Yishou closing his eyes and resting his mind, He Basheng whispered, a little unconfident.His brain is not very easy to use, so how can he be confident in the face of a "sports car" like Liu Yishou.

At this time, the spring sunshine came in from the window, and Liu Yishou was covered with a layer of gold, which gave him a somewhat mysterious aura.Of course, this was also He Basheng's own imagination.

"Wait, if it really doesn't work, let's break into Pengcheng Palace."

Liu Yishou opened his eyes and said.

Is it okay to forcefully break into the palace?There is an archery tower at the entrance of the palace. You were shot like a hedgehog before you smashed the door. Why pretend to be X!
He Basheng wanted to say a few words to Liu Yishou, but he held back later, maybe the other party was just saying something angry.

Not to mention the most prominent princes of the Luoyang Yuan Clan, Gaoyang Wang Yuanyong, Liu Yishou naturally knew what Bilian was.He may be good at eating, drinking and having fun, but for the rest, hehe.

In the lineage of King Ren Cheng, now Yuan Yi's predecessor, Yuan Cheng, was a reform hero during Emperor Xiaowen Yuan Hong's time. Although the blood is far away, he has a lot of weight and connections in the court.

The Changle Feng family, starting from the Empress Dowager Feng before Emperor Xiaowen, has been one of the promoters of Sinicization.

Therefore, the current king of Rencheng is not so much a clan, but rather a representative of the Han family group.It is impossible for this lineage to become the emperor, but it is very likely to follow the route of Zaifu.

Of course, the premise is that the political structure of the Northern Wei Dynasty can still exist.

In the end, Liu Yishou focused his attention on the line of King Pengcheng.

The old King Pengcheng was Yuan Xie, Yuan Hong's half brother, but he had been executed 20 years ago (political struggle).The new King of Pengcheng is Yuan Shao, the same mother and elder brother of Emperor Xiaozhuang Yuan Ziyou in history.

From the perspective of blood, this vein is closest to Emperor Xiaowen Yuanhong.

In terms of blood, Yuan Yong and Yuan Xie are basically on the same starting line.But compared to prestige, King Pengcheng's lineage is much stronger than King Gaoyang's lineage!
Due to emotion and reason, Liu Yishou should contact the people in Pengcheng Palace.Even if he had a good talk with that "cousin" today, he would probably go to the Prince Pengcheng's mansion in the end.

It can be said that the end point of this mission is actually certain, which is the Pengcheng Palace.What is missing is how to enter the opponent's line of sight and connect with them.

Sure enough, Feng Mengmei's relationship is more reliable, and she directly contacted the noble lady of Pengcheng Prince's Mansion, which saved a lot of trouble.

If a person is too weak, he has to rely on various relationships to strengthen his weakness, which is also impossible.Thinking of this, Liu Yishou's thoughts became clear.

……

The sky gradually darkened.

Although the entire city of Luoyang is completely empty now, the number of pedestrians coming and going has only slightly decreased, so it is not a dead city.

A dark figure sneaked close to the open gate of Shengming Temple, and as soon as he entered, he was stopped by Dao Jing with a cold eyebrow.

"It's getting late, worship Buddha and come back tomorrow."

Dao Jing said with a stern face.

In Luoyang City, many temples are only lively at night. After all, some things are not used to doing during the day.But Shengming Temple is clearly not that type of temple.

With the dim light of the lantern, Dao Jing noticed that the person in the black robe was actually a young woman.

"Go in, you are in the second meditation room after passing through the Buddhist hall."

Dao Jing said quite speechlessly.

As long as it is a young and beautiful girl, then she is definitely looking for Liu Yishou.

"Thank you Master."

A certain cute girl nodded happily and said.

One is thinking too much, and the other is thinking too little. It is quite a miracle that the two can connect.

Seeing yet another girl being ruthlessly "damaged" by Liu Yishou, Dao Jing secretly sighed.

"The skins are all of hue, why are they so persistent?"

……

In a Zen room in Shengming Temple, He Basheng stared dumbfounded at Feng Shuyuan taking off the black robe outside, and at Liu Yishou with a calm face, a little suspicious of life.

He has seen all the virtues of the cute girl's cousin. It is not so difficult for this one to come out.

As a result, this girl, who was obviously not very intelligent, came here by herself!Should it be said that the people of Rencheng Prince's Mansion have a big heart, or that Changle Feng's has a big face?

"I said I will stay overnight at the Pengcheng Prince's Mansion tonight, and I won't go back. After all, it happened before, so they didn't doubt it."

Doubt does not necessarily mean no doubt, it may just be that you don't want to make extra troubles.Liu Yishou nodded slightly and smiled, "I believe you will definitely come. After all, you can consider others in times of crisis. I have never doubted whether you will come, but I am only worried that someone will not let you come."

Liu Yishou put a big tall hat on Feng Shuyuan.Judging from the crescent-like eyes of the girl's smile, her praise of Liu Yishou should be very rewarding.

He Basheng seemed to have learned a little bit of the skill of teasing girls from the scene just now, and he could feel the real improvement, but he couldn't express it.

"Oh, my aunt scolded me. I said that it was very unlucky to encounter an interception on the road this time, and it might not be an auspicious time to get married. Anyway, my aunt finally promised not to mention this matter before the Chinese New Year this year, and choose a zodiac next year." Let’s talk on auspicious day.”

Feng Shuyuan said a little proudly, her eyes were fixed on Liu Yishou, and it seemed that "come and praise me" was written on her face, which made someone bewildered.

This girl seemed so stupid in front of him, but she was very good at dealing with her aunt.

"I'll take you to see sister Yuan's family, how can you thank me?" the cute girl squinted her eyes and asked.

Looking forward to it.

"Uh, what do you want?"

Liu Yishou asked curiously.

He still wants to save the people of Luoyang from fire and water. Has he asked all the people in Luoyang to thank him?

It is really difficult to raise only women and villains to repay kindness.However, with his emotional intelligence, he obviously wouldn't say this, if he wanted to say it, he would only say: I thank you for the people of the world!

"I think……"

Feng Shuyuan originally wanted to say that I want to kiss you, but when she thought that the other party would be "raided" by her soon, such an important wish should not be granted to such a small thing as a kiss.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Then I've made up my mind to tell you, I haven't made up my mind yet."

"Well, then if you think about it, tell me that I will go through fire and water for you. As long as it doesn't violate my principles."

Liu Yishou was afraid that she would come up with wishes such as "let's get married now", "get married while it's hot", "my family will be very good and strong", so he deliberately added a sentence at the end.

"Okay, it's settled, let's go now. Pengcheng Palace is not far from here. When you talk to sister Yuan Jiyao, I'll walk around the palace a few times."

Feng Shuyuan arranged Liu Yishou's itinerary strictly because she was afraid of being alone.

"Then let's go. That's right, Brother Heba, just wait in the temple and take this jade pendant. If I don't come back tonight, then you take this mutton jade and leave Luoyang immediately to return to Erzhu Commander's Day Camp, don't need me."

Liu Yishou handed over the token of the emperor...well, the previous emperor to He Basheng.

"You mean..."

He Basheng had a bad feeling in his heart.

"If I don't come back, then King Pengcheng handed me over to Queen Mother Hu. You should pray that I can adapt to the role of face leader."

Liu Yishou smiled bitterly helplessly.

Unexpectedly, this trip was so dangerous. Both He Basheng and Feng Shuyuan had troubled expressions, and wanted to persuade Liu Yishou not to go, but they couldn't say it.

If it is possible not to go, then they have tried everything possible to come to Luoyang, is it just to see the scenery?

What is a boy?

Go ahead to dangers!No matter what difficulties you encounter, you will face them and never shrink back. This is what men do.

He Basheng seems to understand why Feng Shuyuan, a cute girl with a good background and good looks, is so obsessed with Liu Yishou.In fact, sometimes women's intuition is more accurate than men's judgment.

"Well, do you have anything else to say?"

For example, the enchanting beauties Xu Yuehua and Xiao Yezi in the nunnery?

"I don't have anything to bring. If I just die like this, then I'll be gone. Naturally, I follow my principles when I do things. Since I have decided, I must do it. There is nothing to regret."

"Lang Jun, don't worry, if there is anything, I will intercede with the Yuan family."

Feng Shuyuan said confidently.

Liu Yishou suddenly felt like a flag had been set up.

"Forget it, lead the way, success or failure depends on it."
